Art and Technology

In this programme, you will work with the interplay between technology and aesthetics. You will gain an understanding of the fundamental theories of art as well as an understanding of interactive technologies and concept development methods.

You will design interactive installations and produce physical worlds of experience.

You will work with modern materials, light and sound. The focus is on interaction between physical technologies and new media.

The aim is to create experiences of interaction between you as the experience designer and artists and media professionals in the field.

Project work interacts with academic cources. The sixth semester is devoted to your bachelor project, where you use the knowledge aquired during your studies to produce a media art work such as an interactive installation, an urban event or a performance.

Teaching varies between lectures, classroom instruction, workshops and project work in groups. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.
